Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's solve each problem shown in the image step-by-step.
Problem 8
The triangle shown has two equal sides, indicated by the marks on the two sides, making it an isosceles triangle. In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the equal sides are also equal.
- Let the two base angles be each.
- Since the sum of angles in a triangle is , we can set up the equation:
- Solving this equation will give the value of and the angles.
However, from the image, it appears we only have one angle marked. Please confirm if the vertex angle or additional information is provided.
Problem 10
In Problem 10, we also have an isosceles triangle with angles of and .
- The two angles opposite the equal sides are and .
- Since the sum of angles in a triangle is , we can set up the equation:
- Simplifying this equation will allow us to find the value of and the angles.
